Barney is a children's educational musical adventure media franchise that originated with the 1988 direct-to-video series Barney and the Backyard Gang by Sheryl Stamps-Leach and Kathy O'Rourke-Parker. Barney consists of three series—Barney & the Backyard Gang (1988—1991), which consists of only eight episodes, Barney & Friends (1992—2010), a television series that ran on PBS Kids, and Barney's World (2024), a fully computer-animated series set to air on Cartoon Network's Cartoonito, and which is currently streaming on Max—and is currently distributed by 9 Story Media Group, under license from Mattel Television.
The Barney franchise follows the titular character Barney, a purple anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex who conveys educational messages through songs and small dance routines with a friendly, huggable and optimistic attitude,

Barney is the main character of the Barney franchise. He is a purple Tyrannosaurus with a green stomach in stuffed animal likeness, who comes to life through a child's imagination. His theme song is "Barney is a Dinosaur", whose tune is based on "Yankee Doodle". Barney often quotes things as being "Super dee-duper". Episodes frequently end with the song "I Love You", sung to the tune of "This Old Man". Despite being a carnivorous type dinosaur, Barney does not have a carnivore's fearsome teeth. He likes many different foods such as fruits and vegetables, but his main favorite is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk.
